It was such a lovely summer day, finally warm and sunny: click it to enjoy it full screen!
We quickly reached the high path to cross the region towards the cloister of Fischingen.
The signals were not always 100% clear, but who could have imagined …
Papa Francisco (in the picture below, adapted from the Vatican newspaper l’Osservatore Romano) was around 380 meters far away from my D800.
In the panel below it is depicted how could I see him with a 50 mm and a 16 mm mounted on my D800. First, second and third column are respectively left, middle, right crops of the full size pictures (f/6.3 and ISO 100 – click here and here for downloading 15 MB full size pictures) Click on the picture panel to see it full size.
Except for the slight chromatic aberration on the left side of the 16 mm picture (that is automatically removed by lens correction, compare middle and bottom rows), I am happy I had this lens just in time before visiting Rome.
If you did not manage to go through the several pictures we shot in Rome, enjoy artborghi animated point of view instead: technical specifications and hi-res pictures you can find here. Click on the youtube movie for a hi-res 2000 year-long trip in pictures.

I had the lucky opportunity to visit Ghent (Belgium) in winter (wait…) under the snow (ah!). The city lights plus the white snow transformed this “diamond of the Flanders” in a fairy tale location. Enjoy my day and night reportage from Ghent: click HERE for our flickr.com picture set on Ghent!
